Acts:27:9-28

*
Now when much time was spent ,
and when sailing was now dangerous ,
because the fast was now already past ,
Paul admonished , (
note :)
the fast :
the fast was on the tenth day of the seventh month (:
note )
*
And said to them ,
Sirs ,
I perceive that this voyage will be with harm and much damage ,
not only of the cargo and ship ,
but also of our lives . (
note :)
hurt :
or ,
injury (:
note )
*
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship ,
more than the things which were spoken by Paul .
*
And because the haven was not suitable to winter in ,
the greater part advised to depart from there also ,
if by any means they might attain to Phenice ,
to winter ;
an haven of Crete ,
and lieth toward the south west and north west .
*
And when the south wind blew softly ,
supposing that they had obtained purpose ,
loosing ,
they sailed close by Crete .
*
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind ,
called Euroclydon . (
note :)
arose :
or ,
beat (:
note )
*
And when the ship was caught ,
and could not bear up into the wind ,
we let drive .
*
And running under a certain isle which is called Clauda ,
we had much work to secure the boat :
*
Which when they had taken up ,
they used cables ,
undergirding the ship ;
and ,
fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands ,
struck sail ,
and so were driven .
*
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest ,
the next they lightened the ship ;
*
And the third we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship .
*
And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared ,
and no small tempest lay on ,
all hope that we should be saved was then taken away .
*
But after being long without food Paul stood forth in the midst of them ,
and said ,
Sirs ,
ye should have hearkened to me ,
and not have loosed from Crete ,
and to have gained this harm and loss .
*
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer :
for there shall be no loss of life among you ,
but of the ship .
*
For there stood by me this night the angel of God ,
whose I am ,
and whom I serve ,
*
Saying ,
Fear not ,
Paul ;
thou must be brought before Caesar :
and ,
lo ,
God hath given thee all them that sail with thee .
*
Therefore ,
sirs ,
be of good cheer :
for I believe God ,
that it shall be even as it was told to me .
*
But we must be cast upon a certain isle .
*
But when the fourteenth night was come ,
as we were driven up and down in Adria ,
about midnight the shipmen thought that they drew near to some country ;
*
And sounded ,
and found twenty fathoms :
and when they had gone a little further ,
they sounded again ,
and found fifteen fathoms .
